Filmaka is teaming up with Ford again to promote their new car the Ford Fiesta. Ford and their agency Team Detroit are in the process of bringing the Ford Fiesta stateside. As part of the successful social and viral campaign, The Fiesta Movement, “agents” have been selected in 16 US markets to bring the new Fiesta into their lives, complete several missions, engage their local community and share their experiences, both online and offline, with all of us.

These Agents are looking for Filmaka members to help them bring their short film to life! It is up to you and the agents to create a short film about the ford fiesta in your city.

Every filmmaker that is chosen to participate will be provided a production budget of $5,000. Filming begins May 1st and the finished movie will be screened on or around May 25th. All of the finished movies will premiere in the same city which the film was shot starting on or around May 25th. This film premiere will be the cornerstone of a customized local event that launches the Ford Fiesta in the United States. You will also have the chance to go to a Hollywood premiere if your team’s film wins the grand prize.

In addition to the production funding and Hollywood premiere, you also have the chance to win $10,000 if your team’s film is chosen as the best of the best. Second Place will receive $5,000 and Third Place $2,500.

You must upload your pitch by SATURDAY, MARCH 27th! The quicker the better!
